Mark Farner IS the engine that took the original Grand Funk Railroad, one of rock music's most successful groups, to the top of the charts.

As their lead vocalist, lead guitarist and principle songwriter the group made a beeline to rock stardom following their show-stealing performance before 180,000 people at the Atlanta International Pop Festival in 1969.

Capitol Records was soon on board releasing The Band's appropriately titled first album, On Time, which included such timeless Mark Farner compositions as "Time Machine", "High On A Horse", "Heartbreaker",

Forty years after Mark Farner was star struck with overwhelming success, with 30 million records sold

All proceeds from the show will benefit 1 World Foundation which is an international, non-profit charitable corporation comprised of volunteers from New York State, USA, and Canada, sharing a common dedication to better lives for people with developmental disabilities.

developmental disabilities from both countries meeting to discuss issues of mutual concern. It's a concerted effort to learn from one another for the purpose of providing the best possible care for the people with disabilities.
